how many posts appear here from the sources you hate?

Tell us, for example, about the "election fraud" you mention. Is it gerrymandering? How many cases? how many such claims have gone to court and been dismissed by the courts? Answer this: do you believe Biden or Trump is the duly elected president? if you do not answer that question then all you say can be readily dismissed as hogwash

Election fraud : FBI shredding ballots in Georgia.

If they prove Democrats right, why shred?

It is apparent that 12:36 literally eats shit. How else to explain his stupidity and hyperpartisanship? If it is a federal record, then it has a retention time.

If 12:36 every worked n a responsible job in public or private world, they would know this. We have to conclude that 12:36 has done neither.

12:36 got computer prvivielege at the funny farm and so here she is.
